My mac 10.4.11 won't recognize my i phone 4s in itunes

see above. is the 10.4.11 compatible with the new 4s i phone?

Unfortunately, no. The new iphone requires at least Mac OS X v10.5.8; full requirements are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
With iCloud, however, a computer is not necessarily needed for basic requirements beyond the inital activation (which could be done by a friends' computer or an Apple Store)

My computer won't recognize that my phone is plugged in, so i can't transfer photos, but it shows connected to itunes.

You have to sync your photos from iTunes , if you cannot see iphone in itunes it might be due to itunes being corrupted or the apple driver issue.
To fix this, try the following:
1.Uninstall iTunes completely , and Re-install the latest version of iTunes, download it from apple website
2. Check whether its a hardware related issue , by using the phone with a different firewire
3. if it does show up in iTunes , and still facing the issue then try restoring the iphone [setting it up as a new phone , DO NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP] and then try re-syncing
4. I dont think the format of the photos matter , but still try syncing different format photos [generally JPEG formats are used]

My old mac and 3g won't recognize my iphone4s - and the new itunes on my pc won't recognize the 3g

Hi, I'm having issues syncing my information from two separate computers to my new phone.
I backed up my old iPhone 3g on my iBookG4. The G4 does not support the iPhone 4s because it's too old and I cannot update to Lion or Leopard because it's too old.
I have a Dell that I bought in 2009 (i know i know, it was cheap and i had to get it for a class i was taking) - anywho, I have downloaded the new version of iTunes for the iPhone 4s and this version of iTunes won't recognize the 3g - I'm guessing because it is so outdated.
So, I can't get the old computer to read the new phone or the new computer to read the old phone.
What I attempted was home sharing with iTunes and that got all my music and apps, but contacts and calendars I can't move.
Any suggestions??
thanks.
ps this mac is so old that the letter a just popped off the keyboard

Syncing of devices running iOS4 and higher requires iTunes 9.x and higher.
iOS 4.3 and higher requires iTunes 10.x or higher.
Regardless, iTunes 9.x and 10.x require Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Is your Windows system current with all Windows updates?

Power Mac G5 1.8GHz won't recognize discs

After nine years, I shelved my workhorse G5 (single processer, 1.8GHz, 4GB RAM, 2x1TB internal drives, eSATA and extra ethernet PCI cards, OS X Server 10.4.11) not becuase it wasn't working well--it was--but because the not-for-profit I work with switched to a cloud-based solution, which makes a huge amount of sense.
After watching it sit in the corner for a month, I decided to put it up on Ebay. And of course, didn't think to test it until it was already posted. I mean, come on! It worked fine last month, right?
Oops.
It starts up. The monitor goes grey, and then I get the flashing question mark. (Occasionally I get a circle with a line through it, which is new to me.)
It doesn't recognize the internal system drive. It doesn't recognize an external mirrored drive, whether connected to FW400, FW800 or eSATA. It doesn't recognize ANY INSTALL DISK in the optical drive. The question mark flashes on. When I hold down the option key at startup, the wheel spins merrily for a while, then stops, showing just the right arrow and the reload arrow.
It DOES start in target mode; I can boot another computer off of the internal system drive (or the backup, for that matter). So the drives are fine.
Here're the things I've done, in no particular order:
I zapped the PRAM. (Haven't replaced the battery--3.6 volt half-AAs aren't easy to find!)
I reset the PMU.
I tried to enter safe mode by holding down the shift key. Nope.
I tried--mostly unsuccessfully--to enter single user mode.
I managed (after much trying) to get into single user mode, and zapped the NVRAM. Should have checked the disks before rebooting, because I haven't been able to get back into single user mode again.
I took out/moved around the PCI cards.
I took out/moved around the eight DIMMs.
I emptied everything out and cleaned it as much as I could.
I moved the system drive to the other bay.
I removed the system drive and tried to boot from the external and the DVD.
Nothing has worked.
My fear is that the computer has, in the last month, suffered a failure of either the video card or (shudder) the logic board. Or maybe the firmware has gotten corrupted somehow, since the startup sequence seems to be weird. If it's that, however, I can't figure out how to reset it, since I can't seem to get the computer to start in single user mode.
HELP!

Half height AA PRAM batteries can be found at Radio Shack. The half height AA battery is purple and made by a company called Tandrian. They are more expensive from the Shack.
Here's another online source for the PRAM battery that is much cheaper.

MAC OS X YOSEMITE WON'T RECOGNIZE MY CANON IP90 PRINTER AFTER SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION

I HAVE AN 8 YR OLD CANON IP90 PRINTER WHICH I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED ON MAC BOOK PRO OSX YOSEMITE 10.10.2.

Why won't Mac Pro 1,1 won't recognize new memory?

Hi out there. I needed a bit more memory so I got 2G of Kingston. I had ordered it from MacMall and had given my serial # and they picked it, so I am assuming it is the right memory. I have installed it in slot 3. From what I have read in the manual that is correct. I have heard conflicting things about having to install in pairs. I have 512 in slots 1 and 2 for a total of 1G before the new memory. I have taken it out and put it back in a few times, reset PRAM, etc, to no avail. So, my question is.... does it really need to be installed in pairs???? Could it just be faulty memory? I have searched the forum, and this seems to be a common problem with later models of MacPros, but I haven't seen anything about older ones like mine.
Thanks!

OK, thanks. I thought so. I wasn't sure though and when I talked to the woman at MacMall she said no. I have done a lot of biz with them and have never steered me wrong before, so I am not dissing them, but it sure would have been nice to know to begin with so I could have bought two 1Gs instead of having to buy another 2Gs. Oh well, now it will hopefully be back to being superfast.
Thanks for your quick response, I appreciate it!

My Mac mini won't recognize iphone 4 photo library in itunes so I can download pics from library and free up space in memory, I was able to download camera role but not photo library that takes up more space. Help thanks

The photo sync is one-way: Computer to phone. Photos synced to your phone will have to be extracted from your phone using third-party software, if you want them on your computer, as Apple makes no provision to do so. Since you're using a Mac, you can use this:

Computer won't recognize new Shuffle

Just got my new 4th Gen. Shuffle in the mail and connected it to my mac laptop but it won't recognize it. I've tried "resetting" the shuffle using Apple's directions, I've restarted my computer, downloaded the latest version of iTunes and NOTHING! Anyone else having issues? Do I need to call? This is ridiculous...

First, run through the Apple troubleshooting suggestions:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/shuffle2gen/
That is for an older version of the ipod, but I would imagine that it will give you some good ideas.
If none of that helps, I would suggest completely uninstalling all the Apple stuff and reinstalling. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall itunes and whatever else was installed for Apple - that includes their USB software.
Then, reinstall it all.
One other thing to try before doing all that is to shut down your computer and disconnect everything except for your keyboard, mouse and ipod. Then start it up again. If it comes up, then you know that some other USB thing on the bus was conflicting with your iPod. Also make sure you are connecting directly to the computer, not through a hub - just to make sure. If it works, then maybe try using the hub again. If it fails after that, you know it was the hub causing an issue. If it works, reconnect your USB items one at a time and restart after each reconnect until you find what was conflicting.
Hope that helps,
i

ITunes 8 won't recognize iPhone

I'm experiencing this issue on 2 separate computers.
When I was prompted to install iTunes 8, I downloaded and installed. During the installation, an error box popped up saying that the iPod service wouldn't be installed. Of course, once installed, the iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes, although it's picked up fine by Windows as a "camera". Wanting to transfer my latest podcasts to my iPhone, I installed iTunes 8 it to my work computer (Win XP instead of Vista I run at home) and had the same issue.
It says that the iPod service is running, but iTunes won't recognize it. And of course, iTunes won't let me roll back to an older version. I've been searching for a resolution to this issue. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling, and no luck. I've found other mentions of this issue, but there never seems to be a resolution for it.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having the same problem with an iPod touch 32gb. If you go into "Diagnostics" under "help" on the itunes menu bar, and run the "ipod connection test" or something like that, it'll show "failed" and have a "help" button next to it. This takes you to a web page that lists various steps in solving the problem, beginning with reinstalling iTunes 8. It then recommends several other steps including deleting all iTunes files and shutting down all windows services through "msconfig". The final step recommends wiping your drive and reinstalling Windows then reinstalling iTunes 8. I've tried all but the final step to no avail, but I'm guessing since you tried it with a fresh windows install that it may not even work. I'm hoping there is a resolution for this soon. I still have iTunes 7.7 on my laptop, so I'm considering migrating all my stuff to that until there's a fix. I know it's an iTunes 8 issue, because I synced my iPod +right before+ installing it, just fine. iTunes 8 has never recognized my iPod. Apple has left me with the choice of of re-installing Windows (and subsequently, everything else on my computer) or wiping all traces of iTunes 8 (including music libraries) and rebuilding my entire music collection from scratch, including playlists. Awesome. Just fix the stupid program?

Mac won't recognize my password to let me download anything

I recently downgraded from Yosemite Beta to Mountain Lion and now my mac won't recognize my login credentials. Curious thing is it does recognize them to let me login at startup. But it won't let me download anything because it says my password is wrong. I changed the password and again it recognized it to let me login but not to download anything. What's going on?

Where are you trying to download from? Apple ID password?

Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone or iPad.

Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Mac doesn't have iCloud, preferences still shows MobileMe. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone 3 or 1-1/2 year old iPad. I suspect I need to update OS, but as software update isn't telling me to do so, can I? What version would I need to go to?

Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.

i tried to get the installation disc for the camcorder but mac wont' recognize it becaue it is windows based i guess.
i just bought the camcorder a few months ago and when my computer crashed thought i'm finally getting a mac...it's been a costly venture which has resulted in more frustration than before my pc.
now the things i want to use with my mac that i thought would be even simpler...are not even useable...

That camera shoots H.264 in an .avi wrapper.
You will have to transfer the files via the Finder.
Get a free copy of MPEG Streamclip and convert them to QuickTime .mov using the H.264 codec if you are presumably editing in iMovie.
Note that your list of video codecs won't look like mine as I have Final Cut Pro, but H.264 is definitely an option for you.
